Just hours after acquiring All-Pro Safety Jessie Bates, the Jackson Jaguars have made another trade.

According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, the Jaguars are acquiring defensive tackle Davon Godchaux from the New Orleans Saints for a 2028 sixth-round pick.

With the Jaguars being first in the AFC South with a 6-2 record, it makes sense that they are being buyers. Now, they have given their defense another boost by acquiring a veteran player in Godchaux.

Godchaux will now provide the Jaguars with another veteran defensive tackle to work with. When noting that he is still a solid player at this stage in his career, he has the potential to improve the Jaguars' roster.

In eight games this season with the Saints before this trade, Godchaux posted 15 tackles. This is after he posted 43 tackles in 17 games for the Saints during the 2025 season.

Overall, this is a low-risk move for the Jaguars when noting that they only gave up a sixth-round pick to land Godchaux. It will be intriguing to see how much of an impact the 10-year NFL veteran makes for Jacksonville from here.
